His Holiness Swamiji Bodhananda Saraswathi.

My interest in spirituality slowly started striking roots when I was taken for Upanishad classes by my father as early as a school kid. I remember the Kathopanishad series of talks given by Nirmalananda Giri Maharaj at "Kottaram" outside our temple. I remember sitting with awe at the questions raised by "Nachiketha" (an eight year old boy whose queries are being answered in this upanishad) to 'Kala'(God of death). Though I didn't understand much about the meaning of the upanishad, the story was great, and it sparked a lot of questions in me.

I heard about Pujya Swamji from by Ichamma (short form for Chittassiamma- father's sister). She had described about Swamiji in detail before I went and met him. I was eager to meet HIM for a long time, but HIS ashram was in Trivandrum and we were staying at Thrissur at that time. Towards the end of my UG days, I heard that HE is coming to Palakkad at Kunnathoormedu. Thus me and father decided to go and meet HIM there.

This post will also be filled later..
